lyrics

Now the evening sun is goin' down
Black shadows covering dusty ground
But I never thought I'd be the kind of man
But I know that I am

But I never thought I'd be a junky
Fixin' up holes and shootin' my time away

Early morning sun leaves me behind
Shatters my body burns my mind
But I never thought I'd be the kind of man
But I know that I am

But I never thought I'd be a monkey
Climbing up trees and lost on a cannibal isle

If I should wake up in some other place
White Heap staring at my lonely face
But I never thought I'd be the kind of man
To be caught inside a jam

But I never thought I'd be a donkey
Pullin' a weight that's driving me to the ground

But I never thought I'd be the kind of man,
But I never thought I'd be a junky, yeah
But I never thought I'd be a monkey
But I never thought I'd be a donkey, yeah
